"I'll be sure to come by if I need you." She stood, "You can have the rest of the bread... I made it for you, anyways."

"Are you certain..?" he asked, standing as well.

"Positive, dear. You just work in getting your fire wood." She patted his shoulder before heading to the door.

He smiled and waved as she left, then sighed softly as he cleared the table. He then grabbed his axe and lumber sack, and went out into the woods just beyond his fields.

The woods were always beautiful during the day. The sun shone through the trees, and birds sang and chirped to each other softly. Sometimes a deer or two could be seen, looking for breakfast. Today, however, they were unusually quiet.

As William walked through the forest, he noticed the unusual silence and stopped, looking around for a cause.

A woman in a crimson dress and black cloak was walking by, her head watching her feet as she did so. After a moment she stopped and looked up towards him, her eyes widening. "H-Hi..."

He stopped and just stared at her for a moment, soaking in her incredible beauty. How could someone as lovely as she be wandering the woods at a time like this? "H-hello..."

She watched him for a long while before stepping forward. "I didn't expect to run into anyone here..."

"I didn't, either," he replied sincerely as he also took a step towards her. It was like she was drawing him in, enchanting him closer.

She quickly took a step back as he got closer, looking away. "What are you doing out here...?"

He stopped suddenly, the spell broken. "I'm just gathering firewood... I've run low..."

She grinned, "Well, what a coincidence... I am as well." She approached him again, her grin turning into a smirk. "Perhaps we can go together." The gold bracelet around her right wrist glimmered in the sunlight.

He was once again entranced by her. "S-sure... That would be lovely..."

"Lead the way then, darling, and sure it is quality wood."

He nodded slowly and began to walk his usual firewood path.

He checked along the underbrush for dried branches and logs from already fallen trees. He hated to cut down a perfectly good tree just to burn it, but if it was a last resort he would do that.

She watched him curiously with her deep brown eyes before chuckling, "Do you come out here often? I haven't seen you before."

"I do, actually," he replied quickly. "I live just to the south of the forest. But I haven't seen you, either... are you from the other side, or perhaps from in the forest?"

"Ah, you are a smart one... I do live here in the forest. I'm not one for much human interaction."

He nodded slowly. "Then why is it that you are walking here with me..?"

She smiled, "Well I need a little socialization from time to time... Otherwise I might go insane."

He nodded again. "I suppose that makes sense..."

She grinned and continued to watch him, crossing her arms behind your back. "So are you a farmer like the rest of Sapphique's population, William?"

"Yes, I am a farmer... Around this time of the year I grow corn, and I also keep a personal garden, and a few goats."

William stopped and just stared at her for a moment. "...o-only for another fruitful harvest and for protection from disease..."
